Now summer has really arrived. This means that we are in the pitta time of the year. Pitta is hot, sharp and full of energy. It makes us efficient and successful. But if it gets out of balance, it can make us irritable, angry and impatient and give us ulcers, eczema, inflammation and many other ailments. To keep yourself in balance this summer, you can therefore think about:
• Eat at regular times, with the main meal in the middle of the day. Don't skip meals.
• Drink plenty of water, room temperature or warm but not too hot and never ice cold.
• Eat juicy fruits such as pears and melons for snacks.
• Otherwise, prioritise green leafy vegetables, squash, pumpkin, cucumber, rice, quinoa, oats, shelled mung beans, olive oil and ghee. Avoid meat, especially red meat.
• Eat organic as much as possible.
• Feel free to drink boiled organic non-homogenised milk with cardamom with breakfast or before bed
• Use plenty of mild spices such as cardamom, coriander, anise, fennel, turmeric, mint, parsley and basil. Avoid strong condiments and ketchup, mustard and similar products.
• Go to bed early in the evenings.
• Exercise regularly at an appropriate level - preferably outdoors.
• Enjoy our beautiful world in summer garb – pitta is related to sight, so anything beautiful is good.
• Do not stress.
• Do yoga and meditate.
• Be lenient with the people you meet - don't expect them to be perfect
• Be kind to yourself. Enjoy life and summer - laugh and relax - try to appreciate the little things in life.
Pleasant summer!
